    Help with history on 2 estates?

    I found two "Big Bills" on eBay just now. Web Search yields: Big Bill is a brand of The Briar Pipeworks Ltd., a corporate situated in Marsa (isle of Malta) and established in 1933. Couldn't find anything on "Key-Man".

    Take Up Pipe Smoking

    I sent that link to all my "concerned" friends and family members who are convinced I'm killing myself with every puff.

    Massage vs. Pipe

    The pipe is definitely a better deal! It may be my latent asperger's tendencies coming through but I don't like strangers touching me, ever.

    Beautifully shot and edited. Music is ok, but I'm hearing that same style everywhere now.

    South African Smoking Ban

    These kinds of laws illustrate how with the stroke of a pen, government can instantly create millions of criminals.

    New Captain Black Premium Line

    In my early military career days Captain Black was all I could get in the PX. I don't remember it being a particularly pleasant experience. I would give a premium version another shot just for old times sake :-)

    Esports - Long Post and You May Have No Interest.

    In Esport team games you see levels on strategy and tactics that go far beyond traditional field sports games. For that reason it is definitely a more cerebral experience than an athletic one and that's probably what turns a lot of guys off. Esports also require a huge time investment in...

    House Of Cards

    Good of you to give that heirloom back to a family member. Good karma! We had been shopping for a long time when that Breedlove came up for sale on Craigslist. The original owner bought it with the intention of starting lessons but got around to it. We're having an octave mando player over to...

    Wellington Family Refurb Practice

    I'm fairly new at refurbishing estate pipes so I practice on cheap estate pipes. Wellingtons are perfect since there are a lot of them out there, they are inexpensive and hard to mess up too badly. So pictured below are a baby, mama and daddy Wellington family. I don't have "before" pictures...

    Plug for corncob pipes

    Since we have some cob experts here I'd like to ask if anyone could tell me about the pipe pictured below? It's about five and a half inches long. The bowl is very large at almost an inch wide and about as deep. It weighs only 1.6 oz. At first I thought it was a hardwood pipe made to look like a...

    First use of buffing wheel

    I read every one of those "Reborn Pipes" blog posts and have found them to be extremely helpful. Sanding with micro mesh pads, buffing lightly with white diamond compound than finishing with a hand polish seems to always work really well for me.

    Your Top Five Favorite Movies Of All Time

    Every time I read someone's list I think, "Oh yeah, I should have put that on my list too!" I tend to like war movies because they show ordinary people rising to meet extraordinary situations. Also, I'm just interested in history, particularly combat aviation.
